Reception Class -David and Goliath - Exploring Courage

As part of our Courageous Advocacy Day, Reception talked about what it takes to be brave and courageous. We learnt that we do not have to be big in order to be brave. By acting out the story of David and Goliath, we learnt that when God is on our side we do not need to be afraid. A little person can make a big difference!

We were told that the boys and girls go in separate rooms and everyone takes off their shoes to show respect.
